Alright, sorry about Tad hacking into my account and almost spoiling the plot with his horrible foreshadowing...
Anyways, special thanks to KermitFangirl-Z on Wattpad and her friend (who will remain anonymous) for their amazing plot ideas. Without them, this chapter would've never been possible!
Speaking of possible, see if it's possible to count how many times I say "time" in this chapter. I'll make it easier for you, and underline all the times I say time! If you can get it right, you get to request a short one-shot of your choice for free!
Time for the show, enjoy. (Yes, I did that on purpose)
Chapter 6 - A Tad Strange...
"Woah, this is the alternate timeline we're supposed to be at? It looks totally different!" Mabel exclaimed as she walked though the forest. "I mean, look at these trees. I can practically feel the dark aura from here... Wait a minute, DARK AURA?!"
"There's a curse in this-"
"CURSE?!"
"Mabes, you're being over-dramatic again." Dipper interrupted as he flipped through a book, then glared at Bill. "This is why you don't give her Smile Dip in the morning, blondie."
"Since when did you start calling people names? Wow, that hurts, Pinetree." he said with a fake gasp of offense, putting his hand on his heart and giving him that pouting expression. The two 'professional actors' started giggling together.
"Now both of you are being over-dramatic." he further deadpanned.
"That's why theater is my major, silly!" his sister replied, elbowing him playfully.
"That's besides the point, Mabel!"
"How is that besides the point? Acting is all about dramatics!"
'Oh my gosh, don't you-"
"Both of you nerds stop fighting, were here." the demon beside them interjected.
"We're not fighting- we're, uh, just... disagreeing?" Dipper said as he adjusted his hat.
"More like quarreling." Bill said sarcastically.
"We don't quarrel!" the twins exclaimed in unison.
"Sure... As I was saying, we're here."
"Oh, right! What did the time-travel guy say we're supposed to be doing again?"
"First of all, his name is Blerple Blaple... I think, and-"
"Blendin Blandin. You have the worst memory ever. Are you sure you're a full grown adult or should I start calling you Little Sapling?"
The 24 year old groaned. "-AND, he said that we need to make sure that-"
"Ooooooh, look at that cutie! I have to go ask him out!" And Mabel ran off.
"Mabel! I thought you were done fantasizing about guys and romance! Stop, come back, we have a mission!" Dipper yelled, going off to chase after his sister.
"This isn't going to end well. But that's better for me! I can just sit back here and relax. You probably won't need my help."
"Hi, my name's Mabel! Do you like me? Yes, definitely, or absolutely?!"
"Uh... who are you exactly?"
"Mabel! Mabel P- AH!"
She was tugged aside by her brother. "Sorry about that, s- sir." he apologized. "We need to have a one on one conversation real quick."
"What was that for!" she whisper-shouted.
"Mabel, we're on a mission to solve time-anomalies, not go boy crazy!" he said as he gestured wildly with the tape measurer in his hand.
"Dipper, why are you acting so serious about it? We have plenty of time. It's not like we're on a schedule or something! Not give me that thing before you break it!"
"No! I've seen how many times you broke snowglobes in the grocery store!"
"Give it to me!" Mabel yelled as she reached for it. Dipper moved his arm out of reach, but that only resulted in them falling to the ground and starting to roll downhill at a fast speed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Suddenly, they stopped. Dipper glanced up to see that the tip of the time tape had caught on a rock.
"Oh thank god..." he said, letting out a sigh of relief.
Apparently, that one movement was enough to make it slip and the tape flew down, the impact of it causing it to hit his chest hard. "Ow! ...Uh oh... Looks like we're going into the future..." He prepared for it, squeezing his eyes shut.
"WHY HAVE YOU COME HERE?" an extremely loud and deep voice yelled seconds later.
His opened his eyes to see that they were standing in front of Time Baby, which Bleynbe Blaynda (was that his name?) warned them about. "Uh, w- what year is i-"
"I SAID, WHY HAVE YOU COME HERE?"
"Sir, we're just trying to-" Mabel interrupted, but once again the 'giant baby god' asked the same question with his booming voice.
"ANSWER ME! WHY HAVE YOU COME HERE? YOU HAVE THREE SECONDS BEFORE I DESTROY YOU WITH MY TIME-LASER."
"We're supposed to be fixing time anomalies for one of your time-officers, but as you can see, we may have accidentally... uh, went into the future?" her brother explained awkwardly.
"THE ONE WHO STUTTERS 24/7?"
"Uh, y- yeah. What's his name a-"
"SILENCE!"
"He's worse than the Wizard of Oz, Dip n Dots." Mabel whispered.
"I SAID, SILENCE! WHAT YEAR ARE YOU FROM?"
Did this guy just tell us to shut up and then ask us another question? Dipper bitterly thought. "2025."
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT YEAR YOU'RE IN?"
"I was trying to ask earlier, but... no."
"THIS IS TWENTY SVENVENDY TWEVELE. AND TO ANSWER YOUR SECOND QUESTION, HIS NAME IS BLENDIN BLANDIN. HE'S HORRIBLE AT HIS TIME-JOB."
"Uhm... can we be sent back to our year now?"
"OH... RIGHT... BY THE WAY, A TIP. IT MAY BE A TAD STRANGE, BUT IT THE SYMBOL CAN BE CHANGED."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Mabel started to ask, but they had already been teleported back.
"Tad Strange, Tad Strange..." Dipper said, already chewing on another pen as he paced around. "Who is Tad Strange... Who is-"
"Who is who?"
The brunet's head snapped up and he quickly whipped around. "Stop doing that, Bill! You scared the crap out of me!" The demon was already cackling. "Hey, it's not funny!"
"Yes it is."
"Isn't!"
"is!"
"Isn't!"
"Is!"
"Isn't!"
"Is!"
"Isn-"
As they were bickering back and fourth, an emo adult who looked to be 27 years old bumped into them, causing the boy to fall over and the time tape to fall from his hands. "Hey, watch where you're going dork! Wait a minute, what's this? A tape measurer? That's stupid!"
"No, no, give it back, please! You don't know what you're doing! Look, I know we didn't get along too well last summer, Robbie, but hear me out-"
But the guy had already started messing with it and soon, a wormhole appeared beneath their feet, and they were plunged into the Multiverse.
"Not again!"
"WHAT IS THIS PLACE?!"
"I don't know- AH, SHOOT!" he barely dodged some sort of... colorful bubble. "I don't know what this place is, but it looks like the place of nightmares, jeez Louise!"
"That's because it is the place of nightmares. This is the Nightmare Realm... It's home to my enemy, Tad Strange."
DUN DUNN DUNNNNNNNN! No? Too much dramatics?
Anyways, reviews are awesome, I should stop procrastinating and do my science homework, buy fashion magazines, byeeeeeeeeeeee!
